¿Un momento maquiaveliano en Arendt? Republicanismo y revolución

The aim of this paper is to analize Arendt´s reading of Machiavelli between the late fifties and the mid-sixties, according to the hypothesis that in its continuities and shifts some keys can be found to understand the complex and problematic relationship, which emerges beyond certain structural similarities, between Arendt and the recovery of the so called “republican tradition”. We will propose at the end that a “machiavellian moment” could be recognized as an episode in Arendt´s permanent concern for the foundations of the political institution.
